This is the famous words of Shakespeare. Today many of us apply this phrase “To be or not to be” in our daily life. It is true that in our everyday life, we sometimes meet such a situation as “To be or not to be”.
This phrase originated from the drama of “Macbeth” written by Shakespeare. It was that in the middle century in England, a King has a general “Macbeth” who held power of army. This general one day was in King’s room while King was in sleep. He wanted to kill the King and to be King himself. He, holding a knife in his hand, murmured “To be or not to be”. Finally he killed his King and made King himself. Of course, he was killed also in a later future.
In our life, such “To be or not to be” situation also falls upon us frequently. We need our wisdom to face and solve it. In minor thing, it is no problem if we make a wrong decision, but in big thing if we commit mistakes it would have fatal consequence to us.
Therefore we need wisdom to solve problems which will arise in our life. The more wisdom we have, the less mistake we make. But, where we get wisdom, it is from books by which are the only source to learn. Reading more good books means that you have more good teachers to teach you. You must obey this rule of life.
